I know it's been done a gazillion times, but this is chat!

Mine is based on a being from a book I'm reading at the moment (or just finished) by Marissa Meyer

Emily is my name and my DH when we were dating would call me or text and say "Hey Emamazing" so I thought it would make a good username for me x

A misheard Queen lyric.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 25/07/2023 21:19

I really like coffee and prefer people not talk to me.

tianabiscuit · 25/07/2023 21:24

Mine is one of my favourite things.

UneFoisAuChalet · 25/07/2023 21:28

Mine is quite dark and ironic I suppose. In my home country, an elderly man was on trial for historical abuse of his daughters. On day two of the trial, he stood outside the courtroom and declared his innocence. However, half way through his monologue he stated (in French) ‘ I never touched my daughters, never, except that one time at the cottage (une fois au chalet)’. Dirty bastard sealed his fate and was convicted, pointedly thanks to his public admission.

The expression has become part of our popular culture, sort of ‘I’m not guilty, I haven’t done that, except for that time at the cottage’ or here’s the rope, here’s the shovel, let me stand here and watch you destroy yourself.

I try desperately to keep in shape, have clear skin, and try to be healthy. However my username is the reason I fail!

SauvignonBlanche · 25/07/2023 21:36

I can’t remember 😁

Random dance song title/lyrics - first thing that came into my head. Think I'd had my old clubland/dance playlist on in the car beforehand haha

Fiddlersgreen · 25/07/2023 21:49

It’s a song by The Tragically Hip

I was watching homeward bound when I joined.

RocketIceLollie · 25/07/2023 21:52

My pregnancy craving. Still not kicked it off. I have a rocket ice lolly most days.

Tetchypants · 25/07/2023 21:57

I was in a bad mood when I made this one.

Self explanatory

Mossstitch · 25/07/2023 22:23

Knitting was besides me at the time........as it usually is and I have no imagination🤷‍♀️

Starseeking · 25/07/2023 22:24

I have a degree in astrophysics and space science.

BeBraveAndBeKind · 25/07/2023 22:25

It's a song lyric. I'd like to take it as an instruction but I'm hardly ever one and probably too much of the other.

DanceMumTaxi · 25/07/2023 22:27

I spent my life driving up and down the same road to the dance studio. When I plug my phone into the car it automatically assumes I’m driving dd to dance and gives me the route and time.

Ohyoudodoyou · 25/07/2023 22:29

Bridesmaids.

loveheartsonaflower · 25/07/2023 22:30

I change mine all the time after being outed on here years ago and it’s always something I’m looking at. Love hearts on a flower happened to be on a card I had on my desk

throwbacko2 · 25/07/2023 22:35

Impulse made o2 again Smile

DanceMumTaxi · 25/07/2023 22:39

I also name change fairly regularly, maybe once a year, so I’ve had quite a few.

dudsville · 25/07/2023 22:41

I'm enjoying reading these, particularly @Gazelda , i thought it was Glenda! Mine? Who the f knows, that was too many wines ago.

FijiSea · 25/07/2023 22:49

A beautiful place that brings lovely memories.
I also name change through the years though …
Have stuck with this one for a while now.
